In this episode, we dive into the world of advanced running shoes and the controversy they’re stirring in professional sports. As brands race to develop high-tech footwear that enhances athletic performance, some are asking if these innovations cross a line. Known as 'technological doping,' this phenomenon raises questions about fairness, competitive integrity, and where to draw the line between human skill and engineered advantage. Join us as we explore how these shoes are reshaping records and regulations in sports, and what it means for the future of athletic competition.
